Along the northern edge of the Minas Basin lies a chain of intermittent high-cliffed basaltic bluffs and islands called the Basalt Headlands.

Following eruption of this rhyolite a period of basaltic volcanism resumed ( or continued ) with the eruption of the Blue Knob ( NSW )/ Hobwee ( QLD ) Basalt.

Basalt is mostly absent at higher elevation, where andesite dominates and rhyolite and small volumes of dacite are present.

Basalt commonly erupts on Io, and has also formed on Earth's Moon, Mars, Venus, and even on the asteroid Vesta.

Basalt is also a common rock on the surface of Mars, as determined by data sent back from the planet's surface and by Martian meteorites.

Basalt columns are a common volcanic feature, and they occur on many scales ( because faster cooling produces smaller columns ).

On the night of 3 – 4 October 1942, ten men of the British Small Scale Raiding Force and No. 12 Commando ( attached ) made an offensive raid on the isle of Sark, called Operation Basalt, to reconnoitre, and take some prisoners.

Operation Basalt was a small British raid conducted during World War II on the German occupied British Channel Island of Sark.

Basalt, on the other hand, is mafic in composition — meaning it is rich in pyroxene and, in some cases, olivine, both of which are Mg-Fe rich minerals.

It is said that the Ooline, when plentiful, can be found in a wide range of vegetation, as well as often on the edges of Sandstone and Basalt Escarpments.

Basalt rocks including ankaramite were used for making microlithic tools such as axes or planes.

Basalt has high liquidus and solidus temperatures — values at the Earth's surface are near or above 1200 ° C ( liquidus ) and near or below 1000 ° C ( solidus ); these values are higher than those of other common igneous rocks.

Strawberry Mountain ( an extinct volcano ), the Granite peaks and boulders of the Elkhorn Mountains, and numerous rim rocks, lava flows and Basalt outcrops are evidence of the historic volcanic activity in the region.

Cenozoic age volcanic rocks related to the long-lived Columbia River Basalt emplacement were deposited above these bedrock units.

The Free State lies in the heart of the Karoo Sequence of rocks, containing shales, mudstones, sandstones and the Drakensberg Basalt forming the youngest capping rocks.

The lower ground to the northwest comprises sandstones and mudstones of late Carboniferous and Permian age whilst to the southeast are a succession of rocks of early Carboniferous age including limestone, the Little Wenlock Basalt and the Lydebrook Sandstone.

Basalt is similar in composition to mantle rocks, indicating that it came from the mantle and did not mix with continental rocks.

It has steep terrain and shallow soils, and contains many rock formations, including the unique Chico Formation sandstone and Lovejoy Basalt rocks.

About eight separate Grande Ronde Basalt flows have been mapped in the Tualatin Mountains ( West Hills ), where they underlie the steepest slopes of Forest Park and form the columned rocks visible along Balch Creek Canyon and Northwest Cornell Road.

Acid lavas are found in the area surrounding the High Island Reservoir and the south islands such as Kau Sai Chau, Tiu Chung Chau and Basalt Island, Banded acid lava with some welded tuffs are found in the central and southern shore of Pak Tam Chung area.

The Columbia River Basalt Group bounds the North Cascades to the southeast.

Wedgwood found this porcelain inspiring, and his first major commercial success was its duplication with what he called " Black Basalt ".

Basalt which erupts under open air ( that is, subaerially ) forms three distinct types of lava or volcanic deposits: scoria ; ash or cinder ( breccia ); and lava flows.

Basalt — the iron-rich, volcanic rock making up the ocean floor — contains a strongly magnetic mineral ( magnetite ) and can locally distort compass readings.

Basalt is a very common volcanic rock with low silica content.

This place as farest ones 32 Kilometers from the point the Britins government ordered exploded one atomic bomb with code name are " Emu ". Beadell return to site with intention to taken photos and research in depth these structures, jut before the British realizing your atomic testing. the photos obtained from place revealed why consists in great stone blocks, as possibly Basalt why with weigth of one Tonne. such blocks are joined and placed vertically for any uhknowed motif. the basalt are one volcanic rock why formed natural christals and poses magnetic properties.

Subsequent ashfall from eruptions in the Cascade Range in the late Miocene contributed to the Mascall Strata, layers of stream-deposited volcanic tuffs laid atop the Picture Gorge Basalt.

Waterways in addition to the Willamette River include Arrowhead Creek, Meridian Creek, Basalt Creek, Seely Ditch, Boeckman Creek, and Coffee Lake Creek.

Other forest garden projects include those at the Central Rocky Mountain Permaculture Institute in Basalt, Colorado and Montview Neighborhood farm in Northampton, Massachusetts.
